Some challenges I think, "hm, I'm pretty smart". Challenges like these make me feel dumb in ways I have never loathed myself, LOL :D. I seem to get stuck on my own train of thought a bit too often. Thanks for the solution though! It taught me, next to humbleness, yet another feature of Python I did not know, extended slices :) Wow. Some challenges I think, “hm, I’m pretty smart”.

"peak hell" was bad enough, but this level is really stupid. URL bruteforce, image file headers recognition... what's next? native code? I'm amazed by you skills, but this is getting more and more weird. Oh my God… “peak hell” was bad enough, but this level is really stupid.

Very nice - I have never seen that pattern before but will use it again myself. Thanks.

I suppose it is required to specify the binary mode on Windows since it makes distinctions, but I have no idea if other platforms require it too. Thanks for the note. Hopefully it will help others.

Have you left this out as a) a test to the people copy pasting your code b) as something that is not needed in the version you are using (I have no idea about Python 3.0, and is it not necessary to open the files in binary mode in Python 3.0?)
